Description

Friday 27 April 2018 – Modern Art Demystified at the Tate Modern

Does modern art leave you confused and bewildered or just struggling to stifle a snigger?

This down to earth highlights tour of the Tate Modern will introduce you to some of the famous names in 20th and 21st century art, from Matisse to Dali to Picasso, and to some of the famous art movements, such as cubism, surrealism, abstract expressionism and pop art. I’ll then bring you right up to date with contemporary works made from bottle tops and human hair.

We’ll ask the questions; what are the artists trying to do / show. How are they doing it and why? This is a modern art tour for the layperson, not the expert, and it culminates with wonderful views of London from the new Tate Modern viewing gallery

Meet at 6pm in front of the main entrance to the Tate Modern (from the river front)

Post-tour drinks at the Mad Hatter on Stamford Street
